Nuts.....

Have an electrician coming next week and just talking to him, he said he's not in paranoia and he sees a lot of homes...but I guess he wears on when he does as he would get "dirty looks"..

My haircutter was here this morning, had a mask on, but once she stepped inside my apt, took it off and cut my hair, and NO MASK for those 30 minutes or so. She says the 3 people she cuts today, 1 is a mask freak and I another lady are not.
Even you have to know that you are not immune to this new virus. No one who hasn't already had it is immune

You and I disagree on almost everything here on CD, but knowing two people who were on ventilator for almost 2 months and how miserable it was on them and their families, it was horrible. They will be in rehab centers for months.

Unless you have a death wish, you should protect yourself. No supp will protect anyone, so use common sense. Masks when around others. Frequent hand washing, etc

One of them told me that before they put her on the vent, she felt the worst pain she ever felt and believed she had cement in her lungs

The other person's son told me he was clinically dead 2-3 times and was miraculously brought back each time

A mask is a small inconvenience. Anyone in your home should wear one to protect you. And, you should be wearing one when around others out of respect to protect them

Same here! Our city, and county, is also seeing a big uptick!

Be CONSIDERATE of OTHERS, wear a damn mask when you are around them.

My daughter says you can smile with your eyes but it is not the same.
Wear it where the mask police demand that you do, and otherwise get out and get fresh air and good breathing...this will be over and sure hope we don't end up another china.

You can keep up your fearing but I will not. And it's true we come from TOTALLY opposite points of view on healing and medicines. I don't buy into your drug business world. Use a couple minor no side effect ones and otherwise that's it.

I know no one who has been sick with the CV....

Im really not sure they do all that good to be honest with you.
I lived in Naples for 10 years and worked in Elementary school. When the Heat Index got over 95 degrees in MAY, the kids were not allowed outside for PE or Recess. They had to stay inside in AC. Cannot be outside running around in that or risk heat stroke. Also have to HYDRATE in that weather. Masks???? Gimme a break. The rest of the country, who only thinks lovely weather in the Winters, is clueless what Southern Florida is like in Spring and Summer.

Jo, I've been to FL in the summer and hot/humid months and can't imagine a mask in all that heat. To stop my breathing even more.

I got a good haircut today and 30 minutes of a no mask haircut and no fear here. And has Jina said, many folks she deals with are in big fear, she and her husband are not. But they both work with the public. So.....

You have no idea who comes into your house!

Just like sexually transmitted diseases where you are sleeping with everyone your partner has ever slept with. With COVID, a disease that you don't need symptoms in order to spread to others, your friends and hair dresser are bringing everyone they were ever near into you home

Wake up!

However I see a lot of people are outside not wearing anything lining up at a store ordering stuff without a mask on. Unless you are picking up stuff and not having a conversation you need to put on a mask when speaking directly to someone.
